REOPENING
Anybody need a reindeer for their sleigh tonight? I'm pretty convincing aren't I? My name is Marjorie and people REALLY love me, and I REALLY love them! Other cats definitely don't tickle me and I wouldn't mind being your one and only, but I may be able to tolerate another relaxed purrsonality with a slow introduction. I'm between 7 and 9 and still have a whole lot of spring in my step, I love to explore and jump and follow you around. I overheard some of the other cats at the shelter saying that I look like I have resting Grinch face in my photos, but that's just my face! I think they're jealous because I was a model in my youth don't you like my lipstick? Anyhow, I'd really like it if you came to visit me so you can experience my adorable face-rubs and happy rattlesnake-tailshake. I hope it won't bother you that I have early stage kidney disease, because I can continue to live a long and healthy life if I stay on my diet. While you think about that, I'll be here waiting for your pets!

Punch It Up this Holiday Season (Family Features) If you are looking to host an unforgettable holiday cocktail party, punch can make a memorable impression on your guests and bring your get-together to the next level. Punch reached the height of its popularity during the Victorian Age. Originally made with alcohol, it ultimately became a nonalcoholic drink largely due to the preference of Queen Victoria. Over the following decades, it faded in popularity, briefly regaining favor in the 1920s when champagne punch was a hallmark of parties and celebrations. Now, as new generations are reinvigorating old favorites and enjoying the art of mixology, punch is trending again. Start by making punch a visual centerpiece at your holiday party. Consider a charming drink dispenser, an unusual punch bowl or an elegant glass pitcher. Let your personal and unique style shine through with your choice of glassware and table decorations and offer a variety of garnish selections for your guests to further personalize their glasses.

Decorate container with apple slices, star anise pieces, cloves and cinnamon sticks. Personalize each serving with additional star anise pieces, frozen cranberries and sugars or ginger crystals, as desired. Serve cold.
Typically, punches start with a blend of sweet and tangy, and you can get that "swangy" taste with an option like Tree Top's 100% Pure Pressed Sweet & Tart Apple Cider as a base. For inspiration, take a mixologist's approach to creating a memorable punch. Lemon, cinnamon and cloves not only spice up the flavor but can also double as decorations. Try ginger beer for a nice fizzle, and for an adult-only punch, consider adding vodka or rum. Your punch table can be a place to gather and reconnect with loved ones while enjoying a trending

Busted: 5 of the biggest holiday myths (BPT) - Holiday fantasies are not just for children. It turns out grownups actually celebrate the holidays living by their own set of myths, and they probably don't even know it. If all the holiday prep and bustle is giving your inner Grinch a migraine, you may find yourself in very good company! A recent Coinstar survey, conducted among 2,000 adults by Atomik Research, uncovered some of these hidden attitudes toward the holidays. The findings revealed truths behind the following five myths we often

cling to when it comes to the holiday season. Myth No. 1: Regifting is in poor taste Many people have a secret stash tucked into drawers and stuffed way back into closets: Presents from the past they don't really want but the guilt is too strong to let them go. If you think regifting is a tacky solution to lightening the load, here's a good secret you should know. Nearly two-thirds of us (65 percent) do it anyway, according to the survey. So if you can picture your aunt's wide grin when she sees that over-the-top holiday sweater, by all means, wrap it up and give it to her. She'll commend you for your excellent taste and your holiday

These days, you think pocket change Myth No. 2: Sticking to a holiday won't even cover the cost of a cup of coffee. Which is why you may budget is just too hard After past failures to make a holiday not be in the habit of counting on budget, you decided it's just easier your change to fill out your holiday to close your eyes and dive into a budget.

to work. But for those who enjoy family time, holidays are perfect for making new memories. Myth No. 5: Gift-giving comes from the heart Ideally, every single gift is a pure expression of love and generosity from the giver, right? Wrong. You probably have a competitive gift giver in your group. And maybe it's even you! One quarter of Americans confessed to getting into an altogether different kind of holiday spirit when it comes to buying presents. They want to be the one behind the most talkedabout, flashiest or best gift at the gathering. Whatever the motivation, keep on giving. Now that you know the truth behind some common holiday myths, give your holiday spending power a boost by visiting the nearest Coinstar kiosk.

Gingerbread goodness Gingerbread is a broad term that can describe anything from a firm and crispy cookie to a moist, soft cake. Traditionally, gingerbread is seasoned with ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and other aromatic spices. Molasses and brown sugar counteract the spice with sweetness. North Americans have been baking gingerbread in various shapes or forms for more than 200 years, and the recipes even pre-date the American revolution. However, gingerbread dates back even further to the Shakespearean era, with The Bard having mentioned it in one of his plays. Gingerbread’s name can be trace to medieval England

and once referred to any kind of preserved ginger. The term went on to reference ginger-flavored cakes in the 15th century, and gingerbread eventually became popular throughout the world. Even though gingerbread cakes and cookies have been made for centuries, Germans are often credited with creating gingerbread houses, according to Smithsonian. They were probably modeled after the witch’s candy cottage in the German fairy tale, “Hansel and Gretel.” Even though gingerbread can be made any time of year, it is particularly associated with the Christmas season, with gingerbread men and other fanciful shapes turning up on cookie platters.

Fee Waived Senior Cat Adoptions in December at Here Today Adopted Tomorrow Animal Sanctuary Brimfield, MA (December 1, 2018) ─ There is nothing like a home for the holidays. The cats at Here Today Adopted Tomorrow, HTAT, in Brimfield have been really good this year and a loving home is their only wish. So all December long, HTAT is waiving adoption fees for cats 8 years and over to make their wish come true.

to Rachael Max, Executive Director at Here Today Adopted Tomorrow, “In most cases, they’re just a cat who ended up homeless through no fault of their own and still have plenty of life ahead of them. Think of a calmer, wiser, less willfully destructive cat — a friend who will love you unconditionally. That’s what you get when you adopt a senior cat.”
The holiday season is a time for family and togetherness – what better way to celebrate than by extending your family to a homeless cat? There are loving, healthy senior cats looking for that The holidays are a time to open one special home to cherish them your heart to those in need and for the rest of their life, and they sometimes those in need come with don’t ask for much: just a warm 4 legs, fur, a meow, and a purr. place to sleep, good meals and While some cats get adopted easily, plenty of love. others have a harder time finding the right family.

However, according www.heretodaysanctuary.org.
About Here Today Adopted Tomorrow Animal Sanctuary Here Today Adopted Tomorrow Animal Sanctuary, HTAT was founded by mother-daughter team Barbara Horn and Rachael Max. HTAT is a volunteer driven group focused on reducing the number of homeless animals in our community through prevention and adoption services. In 2012, we opened our no kill, cageless cat adoption center for adult cats and kittens in Brimfield, MA. It is deeply important to us that every resident's stay at Here Today Adopted Tomorrow is comfortable and healthy, making for well-adjusted, happy animals.
Many shy and fearful cats that do not do well in a traditional shelter flourish in our setting. Shortly after opening, we realized there were more homeless cats than we could handle by adoption alone, so we started programs to spay and neuter the community cats. 180 Sturbridge Rd, Brimfield, MA, 413 324 8224, www. heretodaysanctuary.org To become a fan of Here Today Adopted Tomorrow Animal Sanctuary on Facebook go to: h t t p : / / w w w. f a c e b o o k . c o m / heretodaysanctuary
